Bioshock was released when I was in highschool, which although wasn't that long ago, it feels like years. I have played the game through about 4 or 5 times and each time I play, I find something else to fall in love with. Bioshock for me, was more than a game. I was in tune with each character in Bioshock and I felt what they felt, I put myself in Rapture. With each step I took in Rapture, I found something else to explore, something else to feel, something else to want. When I first played Bioshock, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish it. I was jumpy and shakey almost the entire game, in reality, I'm sure it was fun to watch me play :D Like almost every gamer girl I know that has the hearts for Bioshock, Little Sister (SURPRISE!) is my all-time favorite character. I would hunt down every Big Daddy just to save those little girls. I vividly remember one of my first encounters with a Big Daddy upon saving a Little Sister. I completed my goal, hit the start button, got up and ran to the bathroom crying my eyes out. Not only had I felt relieved for that little sister, I was very much saddened on the falling of the big daddy. The connection between them, was unbreakable, and that, hit me right at home. Each of the splicers had a story to tell, and I loved hearing those stories. I went out of my way to hear them, understand them, sympathize with them, and then kill them. Not only because you have to because well, that's the game, but to save them from the misery that they lived and continue to live. I have an obsession with the vintage era, and Bioshock completed that. I cannot wait to have my own house so I can pin up posters and pictures of that in Bioshock. Andrew Ryan's twists and turns had me going from the start, to be honest, I was naive when it came to his story. I believed what I heard from just about EVERY different mouth he worded it from. When I was revealed what had truly happened, I was so angry that I killed Ryan faster and quicker in my first go around in the game, then all the others. Before Bioshock 2 was released, I replayed Bioshock on my new Platnium copy ($19.99 haha) and it took forever for me to beat Ryan...I just didn't have that passion anymore xD and just wanted the game to be over!

I was not nervous picking up Bioshock II, at all. I was intrigued and in love--all over again. The same feelings applied, except this time, I got to love all over Eleanor AND the little sisters. I think it's the yellow eyes...yeah, that must be it.

When I first heard rumors of possibly a new Bioshock game, I was more than excited over it. I couldn't imagine what sort of plot line they'd pick, considering just about everything possible was covered in Bioshock 1 and 2...i was dumbfounded. I did sit up one night going through peoples play time on youtube and rethinking my game time and for the life of me, couldn't think of anything big enough that a 3rd game could come out of.

The Bioshock Infinite trailer! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, am i excited :} Mixing an airborne town with a steam punk feel? It's amazing. It's beautiful. I am like a little kid in a candy shoppe! 2012, cannot, I repeat CANNOT get here any quicker! I was watching the video, and noticed it takes place in 1912, whereas Rapture was in the 1950's. While watching the video, I kept looking for things that had "Rapture" written all over it, hoping that there was a connection somewhere. In the video, you see a Big Daddy figure, you see a water tank, you see an underwater city...you see the tools and mechanics to create a Big Daddy in real terms, you see people, clearly living and being controlled. It all seems that this is Rapture, before it was underwater. SOO, I read the comments people have written. People are saying that this is Rapture, but before anything bad happens in the air, that this is how it all started. A prequel? Ok, could work. Some people think that this is just another "scenerio" that is possible, like Bioshock, but instead of underwater, in the air. Both scenerios are things a lot of people fear: being trapped in an area, heights, flying, swimming, drowning, etc. I am not coming to conclusions and I am sure as hell keeping my mind open to all of the ideas. I'll leave actually playing the game, put me where I'm supposed to think and feel on this one.

I am curious, what do you all think? Is it a prequel? Another scenario? Or is it something else?

from what i've read...

...Bioshock Infinite will be a whole new continuity, separate from Rapture. this game is being developed by Kevin Levine's team, the one that created and made the original Bioshock game. in an interview w/ Levine, he stated that the story of Rapture was completed by developer Obsidian in Bioshock 2. if there is a continuation of the Rapture storyline, it'll most likely be made by Obsidian. the only ties Bioshock Infinite has w/ the earlier games, are just in the title and theme. but 2012 is still a long ways 2 go, so who knows what could happen until then?
